Perfect stay at Gemstone. Can’t wait to return soon. From the moment we arrived Lorna was an amazing host. She welcomed us warmly showed us around and even joined us upstairs to share a bottle of wine. Our place was so cozy. Fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The location was unbeatable just a few steps from the most breathtaking beach. Every day was a treat from the sounds of the waves to the stunning views Lorna, thank you for everything. You’re truly an incredible person and made our vacation unforgettable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit, hopefully next year

This is a lovely property that has all basic features and amenities for a casual comfortable stay. The location is out of this world-overlooking the ocean with just steps down to a secluded beach that feels almost like a private beach. The hosts are very welcoming and accommodating. We look forward to booking with them again. It was an absolutely incredible summer vacation.

The Deck House is an amazing Gem of Bermuda. Look no further than this property if you want an extraordinary, relaxing stay. The view every day is gorgeous; the ability to walk to your own private beach is out of this world. The Deck House was clean, stocked with everything you need to cook with. The bed was super comfortable. The best part of our stay-was the hosts-Lorna and Greg Wilson. Friendly, hospitable… we learned so much talking with Greg at night. This was a time we will never forget. So what are you waiting for?? Book it now!! You won’t be sorry. We’ll be back!!

The best location by far!!!

We enjoyed our stay at Gemstones so very much, had a wonderful time visiting the South Shore beaches including the private beach (Cross Bay) at the property. Lorna was so pleasant and kind to work with, we thank you very much for being so helpful. Enjoyed the lettuce from your little garden a couple of times. The views right from the room and Upper Deck area are stunning . We will treasure our memories and hope to make more with another visit in the near future. Thank you Lorna!

Deck House in Bermuda

We spent a week at the 'Deck House'. It was a wonderful place to stay and the location was awesome. Lorna was very friendly, helpful and provided us with many suggestions on things to do and places to go. The views from the upper deck were amazing and we enjoyed many meals outside looking at the views and listening to the ocean. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Amazing!

This property is exceptional. From our initial stages of searching for a property to pre-visit questions and arrival on the property, it was seamless. Lorna and Greg are very kind, exceptional hosts and we chatted with them often. Greg is an expert on island food, and Lorna gave us helpful advice on where to go, how to get there and general island knowledge. We enjoyed seeing them every day, and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The view from the property is stunning and the private beach was perfect!

Very nice

The location is a little off the beaten path and relatively quiet/private - which we liked. The view of the water and beach below is absolutely beautiful. You have access to a semi private little beach down below, with a wonderful view on the terrace to sit and eat breakfast. Lorna and her husband are very friendly and kind.

Beautiful Bermuda!!!

We had a fabulous stay at Lorna's property! First trip to Bermuda and couldn't have asked for anything better. Beautiful view of ocean, easy beach access, bus stop at the "top a de hill", great location, excellent host! Accommodations were wonderful, comfortable bed, ocean view and sounds of nature....had everything we needed. Several restaurants within walking distance. Henry's pantry has the best chicken leg and egg roll, perfect to eat while watching whales from the deck house patio! Lorna was very accommodating from the time of booking, providing transportation information (Belinda was great taxi service), and making check-in/out a breeze. Perfect home away from home! Bermuda is such a beautiful island, people are friendly, lots to see and do. Hope to come back with our family and stay in the main house. Thanks Lorna for a fabulous stay!

Lorna, the property, the beaches, and the island are amazing! If you want to go to a nearby restaurant or grocery store, call Lorna’s transportation, contact Belinda Wilson and her husband Ed. Schedule them in advance and they’re great. “Hitch” is their Uber and it is horrible!

We stayed for 8 nights, the property is simply incredible. The views are breathtaking and it's about 1 minute from one of, if not, the best beach on the island. We went all over and couldn't find a beach we liked better.100% recommend to anyone that wants an excellent location and a wonderful host.If we ever come back to Bermuda in the future, we are definitely going to be looking at Gemstones again.Thanks for a wonderful vacation Lorna!

Special place!

The moment you drive down the driveway and see the amazing ocean views from the house you know you’re staying somewhere special! We stayed in Studio By the Sea which was a lovely apartment with very comfortable bed and kitchen that has everything you need to prepare a meal. Our host Lorna makes you feel very welcome and was extremely responsive to our communications. She generously allowed us to park our two seater EV next to the apartment and charge for free. We would happily stay there again if we return to Bermuda someday.

Deck House is heavenly!

Deck House exceeded my expectations in almost every way - very clean and well maintained, accurate description, plenty of amenities/kitchen tools/beach supplies, incredible views, beach path ease, and the loveliest hosts. Lorna and Greg were so welcoming and kind, happy to chat but respectful of solitude, and helpful with any needs. Even the towels and toilet paper were of high quality! The bay's water is calm and protected, with clear water and plentiful reefs for excellent snorkeling, and the pink sand is the softest of landings. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing time, this is THE place!

Everything about our stay was perfect thanks to Lorna and Greg. The location, views, beaches, and hospitality of the Wilsons all exceeded our expectations. We rented a Twizy for the duration of our stay and were able to park it right in front of the Deck House. Everything we needed for our stay was provided - beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, etc. It was also a pleasure getting to know Lorna and Greg, they are wonderful people. I highly recommend staying at the Gemstones and hope to be back!

Relaxing beachside stay in Southampton

Lorna’s property is beautiful and inviting. The unit is fully-stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay (don’t forget to bring your own soaps/shampoos, though). Cross Bay Beach is steps away and is a quiet, private oasis with great snorkeling just a few meters from shore. I gave the location rating 4 stars because in hindsight, I would have preferred to stay somewhere with more dining options within walking distance, but I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, slow pace in Southampton (having Henry’s across the street was convenient). Lorna was a friendly and helpful host.

Best Stay at Gemstone for Peace of Mind and Beach in Bermuda

The experience was wonderful. The place is much more beautiful in person than on-line. Lorna was a fantastic host. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with items you really need for a comfortable stay. The beach is so close and beautiful with views from the deck of the studio.
